Herb Bruce "Herbicide"

When they were done, there was nothing left.
Herb Bruce, known to insiders as "Sybil", had subpoenaed his unscrupulous friends to write and record.
All styles were molested...
Musical norms were battered and abused...
Trombonistic traditions were assaulted...
...It was HERBICIDE!

Herb Bruce "Heaven and Earth"

Not too long ago, a couple of musicians were standing at the back of the hall at a jazz concert--two musicians who have played with Herb Bruce hundreds of times. Herb was in the middle of a solo, and one of the musicians, whom you would think would be blasé about him by this time, was anything but. He turned, shaking his head to the other and simply said, "God, can Herb ever play." Can he ever.

Enjoy...

Herb Bruce "Breaking Out"

Herein he has foregathered with some of his favorite co-conspirators to playing one of his favorite genres; red-hot old-school jazz, and you'll never hear any better.

....Enjoy!

Patricia Dean "Moments Like This"
 
Her first CD "Moments Like This" captures her rich vocal quality and her equally tasteful drumming.  From lush ballads, to bossa novas and savvy swing tunes PATRICIA'S sound is reminiscent of Julie London, Sarah Vaughn and Nancy Wilson.  The album also features a guest appearance by  her husband, trombonist Herb Bruce on an original song written by her father entitled "Come Back My Love"

"..she is a pure Jazz singer" Jerry Wexler,producer; Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin
 

Pepper And Fine Thyme "No More Blues"
 
Vocalist Paulette Pepper's new recording is the blond beauty's crowning achievement to date.  On this recording, produced by Herb Bruce, she establishes herself as a sophisticated songstress in total command of her material. Her most telling performances come on "I Love Being Here With You" and "Happiness Is Just A Thing Called Joe", embellished with a gorgeous solo by Herb, bringing back instant memories of Bill Harris' chorus on Woody Herman's recording. Pepper has taken her career to a new level.

Herb Bruce "Everlasting Love"

As commercial musicians, it is always a challenge to wed the disciplines of secular and sacred styles. By choosing material carefully, as with spirituals and folk songs, a common audience can be reached. We feel that this set of songs manages to blend a cross section of styles, including a few pop standards, and convey a message of love and hope.  Everlasting Love is Herb's first solo CD. It is a compilation of songs in a pop setting with some of Herb's favorite musicians.  This album was originally released in Great Britain in 1996. We thought they were sold out until we discovered a few owned by a US distributor. We acquired them and now happily have some  to post on the website. 

We're delighted to be able to offer them.
